A good-for-nothing child is chosen by a demon whose sole purpose is to consume the most delicious souls. The demon decides to "tutor" the said child and make him into the "soul of a true chef". The story focuses on the boy's journey as a budding chef, and all the eccentric characters he meets.

And he meets plenty of them. A fangirl whose only love is knives, a masked boy with an extreme dedication to spices, and many others.

The artwork is quite stunning. I take minor issue with the shading in some instances, but it still fetches an overall rating of 9. The food art is ... impeccable- I guarantee it will make you hungry. The character development is running quite smoothly, and the plot is well-paced.

All in all, this is a fun, if a bit outrageous, manga that I would recommend to just about anyone, especially foodies.

I'm really not a fan of yuri. It's usually bland, pornographic, stereotypical, plusl misleading towards actual lesbian relationships.This is an exception. I read all of the chapters in one day and it's still playing in the back of my mind. And it's not at all unpleasant.

The story is best summed up by the word "cute". The portrayal of Megumi and Hikaru's relationship itself is truly brilliant, especially for such a short story. Both characters are well rounded and believable.

9/10
